Tag battles have been a staple since Dead or Alive 2, and maybe the most unique trait of the Dead or Alive series. Of course, the number of pairings has been rising in each installment, not only with the inclusion of new characters, but also with the progression of the storyline and the more varied interactions.

Although you can partner any two characters you want, certain pairings have special throws they can perform together and/or special animations before and after the battle. The tag throws are particularly interesting, not only for the animation involving both fighters but also because they do a lot of damage compared to other throws, so it’s always a plus to know which characters can be partnered in order to deliver these powerful moves.

Here’s an alphabetical list of all characters in Dead or Alive 5 and the characters they can be partnered with. The character written in red and capital letters is the active fighter, while the blue is the partner waiting in the sidelines. This information is useful, as some pairings can be one-sided, meaning one character can perform a tag throw with his/her partner but cannot be done vice-versa, and some characters may display more than one tag throw when paired with a certain character. Normally, the only tag throw available is the normal throw (circle button facing the opponent), but in cases where more than one can be performed, the button command will be listed too.

NOTE: Both Bass Armstrong and Lisa Hamilton are pro-wrestlers (Bass is actually retired, though), and thus use an alter ego inside the ring. By default, Bass doesn’t use his ring name, but Lisa does. Both fighters are listed here with their default name, Lisa’s being her ring name La Mariposa. Their alternate names are used when switching costumes (although Lisa looks awful in her casual outfit doing her many pirouettes and acrobatics).
